“I am so excited to welcome Taylor to the Iona family! It was a thorough search process but early on I put together a list of must-haves and without a doubt, Taylor meets and exceeds each one!”

In 2011, Wilson led Seton Hall with 14 points this season, tallying four goals to go along with a team-high six assists. She receives All-BIG EAST accolades for the first time in her career. Wilson finished her career with five goals and 12 assists for 22 points. Her 12-career assists rank fourth in school history and the sixth assists in 2011 are the fourth most for a Pirate in a single season.

Wilson tied for eighth in the BIG EAST in assists and 10th in assists per game.

We pride ourselves on always taking steps forward as a program and bringing in someone like Taylor is yet another huge step in the right direction for us.”
